The written test will be structured in 60 questions (30 on human anatomy and 30 on human physiology), each question will have five answer options of which only one is correct, the evaluation method will provide that a pass mark (18/30) will be assigned to the minimum threshold of 36 correct answers

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
